Finland - Latvia: betting tip (cf 1.82) and bets on the World Youth Championship match

Command Analysis

Finland is unlikely to seriously claim the world championship title this year, as it looks weaker than its competitors. Of course, the national team won't have any problems getting into the playoffs, but it won't be easy for them to compete with opponents above their level. Let's remind that in the opening match, the Finns dealt with Denmark with a score of 6:2, being the clear favorites of the confrontation. Then they had a comfortable four-goal advantage by the equator of the match and subsequently calmly brought the matter to a victorious end, but they conceded twice in just 10 shots.

Latvia is considered one of the main outsiders in its group and initially expected to fight for entry into the playoffs only with Denmark, but after the match with the Canadians, it can gain additional confidence in its abilities and think about something more. It should be noted that the national team gave a worthy rebuff to the main favorite of the tournament the day before and was able to bring the matter to overtime, where luck was not on its side - 1:2 OT. Goalkeeper Nils Maurins showed his best side and parried 36 shots in total, and also, in general, the Latvians managed to work well in defense, so they fully deserved to earn one point in that meeting.

1.77Tip and bets
In this confrontation, Latvia is quite capable of imposing a struggle on the Finns, inspired by the game against the Canadians. The Finns don't look so strong this year, and even the Danes were beaten only by a four-goal margin. Plus, the Latvians play quite indoor hockey and operate tightly in their own zone, so they should not allow the opponent to score a lot. Based on this, we suggest betting on the odds of an outsider.
Prediction - Latvia wins with an Asian handicap (+3) on goals in 1.82
